That nerf one week before the international was so painful. She was so close to greatness on the a significant tournament.

[@loveluclins]

It wasn't worth making the game meta incredibly stale and one dimensional in pubs just to have PA in the international. It's a good thing she was nerfed. They did the same to bara, and guess what, we got a bara major. Very fun...

[@rinnepy]

​@@loveluclinsyou could also say that with SB, CK and BB, the pub meta was also very stale. everyone was playing those 3 every game. why did they nerf PA when they were keeping these 3 more "unbalanced" heroes.

[@Sernyx_X]

​​@@rinnepyBecause every single game from the deepest trenches to top 100 immortals was "you either manage to get her banned or she will be first picked and make the next 40-60 minutes for the enemy team a living hell. 25 if she's feeling generous and if you give her an early lead." This bitch was amost impossible to catch, could be running laps around you and shooting daggers WITHIN YOUR ATTACK RANGE and still be undetectable because fuck you. Also what a beautiful idea to give a hero who can 100-0 somebody in a second something that makes it impossible for the enemies to react to her engage for almost a second. Fuck pa pickers and everything they stand for. Go play a casino and lose all your life savings.

[@AmethystEspeon]

​@@rinnepy SB, CK, and BB were overpowered, yes, but they have interactions. PA (and Dark Willow and Muerta)'s entire gameplan was to be completely uninteractive. DW & Muerta's ability to be uninteractive paled in comparison to how PA was. When PA got off the ground, you simply couldn't click her. The fade delay meant she could straight kill someone before she unfaded, then fade again and repeat.

[@wanderingbufoon]

she would've attained spec status.

[@Nizav-qu5zt]

And there is a lot of changelogs that also changes rubick, this will be the most complicated and thoroughly detailed if baumi does it

[@Corrupted]

Amazing documentary, yet again! Oh also, could you maybe reduce the volume of the caster segments just a little bit? I sometimes rewatch these to fall asleep, and it scares the shit out of me everytime lmao

[@MentalVideographer]

I feel like the nature of PA is that she was powerful around people who are bad at the game; evasion is deadly if you don't build MKB, her blink was a perfect gap closer if you didn't build BKB (which isn't gonna be so common at lower levels) and if you don't know how to manage her, the crits will absolutely body you. I remember starting the game, and PA being an unholy terror. Thus, buffs and nerfs are in an awkward position. How do you make her viable at high tier play, without making her oppressive at low tier play?

[@xMoomin]

she is bad, just make her first 10-20 minutes painful, block her camps, smoke her out.. she always loses, so predictable.. ghost, aeon, as support become necessary if she is farmed.. and btw bkb doesn't stop her blink.. but you have a point, PA is terror for new players

[@menowno3122]

You didn't include that moment Where people could miss 6 times on creeps and 100% crit next hit... was funny in group stage

[@shigerufan1]

That's how the RNG works in the game for almost everything, the crit chance starts out well under the listed % until you get 3-4 hits, and with every miss it gets higher and higher until it finally triggers and resets. It's mainly to prevent people from getting lucky from back-to-back crits as often, but it can be cheesed in its own right by stacking non-triggers on creeps like you said.

[@Corrupted]

​@@shigerufan1has it always been like that? I haven't played for a good 3 years or so, I thought I remember PAs sometimes crit multiple times in a row, atleast it didnt seem like there was any bad luck protection

[@kkonaklap6067]

​@@CorruptedIt's always been pseudo-random. Except for now that her crit has been reworked. It's still pseudo-random but you can't just 'crit' now, your 'crits' give you a specific buff which guarantees that your next attack is the true crit so it is mechanically impossible to have consecutive crits now

[@Corrupted]

@@kkonaklap6067 ahh, I see, thanks!

@JAM95041 trust me, you don't want a video on her. That hero is the second most boring hero in this game, and much like pa is fundamentaly flawed. Fuck spectre honstly

[@samuelmontenegroserniotti7146]

I think her ultimate should be reworked into something more niche. For example make her crits ignore armor Or make her crits more probable when the target is low hp. Or instead of being a crit it could become a massive bleed Or give her Q a longer cooldown on heroes that leaves a mark that garantees a crit on that one target. Its just the pure simplicity of her ultimate what keeps her down.

[@Qwenthur712]

and then the pubs will all complain shes OP and valve nerfing her back.Tbh the only thing that actually holding her back was the pubs coz valve already done their parts to make PA playable in competitive

[@YpsitheFlintsider]

Would it not be good if she had higher CC but lower CD?

[@jms7634]

PA is like that hero that a little good buff can make her op so they have to be very careful when adjusting her thus making her looks like a 'good' hero but soon realize that she needs that good buff when you use her

[@BruhMeme85]

Not even bro PAs kit itself is the problem Not unless they make her intentionally broke she will remain bad (at least for TI level play) The only reason PA became strong recently is because people realized how strong PA aghs was For a long time I have bought that item as a second item or 3rd and people would always be mad at me for buying aghs on PA But as soon as pros noticed how good the aghs was it became Meta It was a dispel in a low cool down But most importantly is it gave you a 3 second window where you can attack someone without getting seen even with detection What you would do is that you blur then wait for the cool down The you jump at a support then as soon as the blur fades you blur again since aghs removed blur cast point making it so you essentially double the fade time of blur That small window of time is usually enough to kill of one support in the enemy team Then after you kill the support you can use blur again as a defensive tool since supports are usually far back The distance supports has from their carries are usually just enough for the radius of blur to not fade making it so that PA was basically just an enigma and your supports couldn't even have done anything meaning you didn't need to use your BKB to pick off supports And the carries couldn't punish PA for it

I am so glad you talked about the old WC3 blur.

[@arislanbekkosnazarov9644]

Imho chance based skills should have some baseline consistency, especially if it’s an ultimate. Maybe they could’ve nerfed the numbers and instead provide a bonus true damage in case of a missed crit, or they could have two crits - one big with low chance and one smaller with bigger chance - and in case they both triggered, the hit will only perform the big crit

[@Faust227]

Poor PA... She couldn't catch a break.

[@todd3143]

i remember the 6 bf builds when dagger was changed to take modifiers

[@SamSGLM]

The reason pa was popular in 7.³³ and onward was mostly a case that the map was new gold farming to scale was not perfected or even close so going zug zug riki pa alarm and murdering people on the map worked better than farming. Part of it was riki pa having been buffed and feeling strong but before people figured how greedy they could get away and what item timings to hit while farming and how to farm rushing with kill heroes was the meta, and the rest was trying to survive them, i.e. dawn breaker meta with a global save. It's like an rts' build order if it's not tight it dies to a rush and doesn't macro fast enough to scale

PA is like a league of legends champion stuck in a dota game. Her kit is just so underpowered

[@blues05]

Exactly 😂! She reminds me of those lame ass sh!t LoL champions!

[@hi-i-am-atan]

quite frankly she'd probably be a helluva lot better if she _was_ like a league champ, because then she'd drop the passive evasion in return for a reliable burst combo, or swap it for an active 100% evasion buff that _doesn't_ get turned off by a single item + likely just have far better baseline tankiness in general also an actual ult. coup would not survive five seconds on a league champ's kit, not beyond being a passive component of another ability that just gave bonus crit damage for free. possibly as an innate ability that's automatically skilled at level 1 and scales automatically with levels. even if she remained a melee rightclicker, the sorta shit league gives its melee rightclickers is stuff like yi's _massive_ attack and move speed boost + slow immunity that can last as long as he keeps getting kills, tryndamere's troll ult that can be cast through _any_ cc, olaf just becoming fully immune to any and all cc as long as he keeps hitting things _on top of_ getting a significant amount of attack damage, fiora obliterating a single enemy champ by playing ring-around-the-rosie, warwick flinging himself across the entire screen to dismember whoever he lands on, and yone just outright having a teamfight initiation ult on the level of ghost ship that also blinks him directly on top of the backline i have no idea what kinda ult you could give pa to make her work in league and still have it fit her, but i have full confidence that you could then port this theoretical league pa back into dota and she'd be _significantly_ better for it

The most successful youtube strat I've ever copied and had worked was divine rapier first on PA. It's actually insane how good it was, it's an incredible damage spike that nearly no hero can deal with and it helps snowball games so fast that you can solo carry them. I'm not convinced it would ever work in pro play, ever, but it was an insane strat based loosely around the same concept of buying divine first on medusa, a character that (at the same) had suddenly become virtually indestructible.

Honestly there is so much that could be done to make this hero good. But when she is good competetively, pubs become an absolute nightmare. Currently though, it's not even worth picking her for her break because Viper exists. If I could suggest one buff though, based on when it was pointed out how bad she is at actually pushing towers unlike other carries, what if she could crit buildings?

[@lekrieg8618]

the thing is, pa doesnt hit hard. She crits hard. If she could crit buildings, chances are she would either deal no damage because she isnt critting, or she will oneshot towers.

[@passiveengie5868]

​@@lekrieg8618Usually skills get adjusted to specifically do less damage to towers but even then a PA crit at level 18 is worth 4 and a half worth of attacks. How often do you see PA's doing a 5th of a tower's health bar in one attack to make the one shot likely if she could crit?

[@parham1023]

Crating buildings? What's next? Can she kill the fountain? U pa players have no shame, huh?

It's bad flavour wise, since I think "Coupe De Grace" means dealing a last blow on a living thing, which I'm pretty sure towers aren't. But honestly with all the skins and new reworks I doubt Valve cares about flavour.

Amazing as always

[@iliakatster]

Its weird that with her kit being full of incredible single target damage, she should be a mid game terror, killing heroes all over the map and using that momentum to carry through the late game. Instead it seems like dagger and blur are used as mediocre farming tools to turn her into an unreliable late game carry where her crits either instantly win the fight or lose it. Instead of this uninteractable playstyle I'd say they they should revert her blur and ulti, and give her something to push her early/mid ganking power. Maybe if blur gave some good movespeed while she's off the minimap for faster roaming and she got a reward for chasing kills such as a permanent attack speed buff which if she got into late game, would mean she attacks fast enough that the likelihood of her critting before dying is higher. Would really encourage that unique and fun style that Phoenix had, and instead off thinking "oh PA is off the map, she must be farming" you're thinking "oh god PA is off the map, is she about to jump me?" Another idea that could giving the ult an active ability that lets her guarantee one crit on a 30-40s cool down so she can contribute at least one kill on a valuable target, but can't just hide and wait for the buff before jumping in for the entire fight.

[@Lordofrye]

She just needs too many items. Needs two-three items to fight and the midgame has just passed her by at that time. BKB is just far too core to her kit. Maybe if blur gave debuff immunity for .5-1s

[@mavor101]

She is too reliant on BKB, and even then, especially after BKB's nerf, she is incredibly easy to blow up.

I miss WC3 Blur, where PA would actually vanish from sight, her entire model would just be a black shadow on the ground, it was kinda neat.

Just make her ultimate usable by demand, like bash or other passives with a possibility to decrease cooldown.
